Day 231/365 (April 6, 2009)

i got up, and i cleaned the kitchen. then baked the cookies to give to lee and mitch, went to NWS to buy my ticket for the night to see altar boyz, and then i did some pretty hardcore job hunting.  Then jordan and i went to try our luck at the avenue q lotto since she has never seen it... we literally put our name in the bucket then they called the names... she lost sadly so we went and she bought her ticket to see Rooms that night. then i went to sasha's and got food with her, found the house of ews, and then went to her place for a bit and borrowed her awesome camera.

Then i headed to NWS to see altar boyz and drop off cookies, jordan came and met me and we hung before going into our respective theaters. i also ran into jenny, logan, and chris who i met in texas. the show was great and i enjoyed seeing lee as luke. i was really saddened that they didnt offer BC/EFA pictures for that night, but afraid that i had noticed the stage was different since it turns out it was prepped to be painted that night. then i met with jordan, and lil and we went to TOL for open mic night for a bit... it was good times, then lil left, jordan and i returned the camera to sasha and went home.

Day 230/365 (April 5, 2009)

i did some arts and crafts making welcome cards for lee and mitch, took lots of pictures of fred chilling in his new favorite hideout under a pillow in its case, but only the blue pillowcase one, not the green. i went grocery shopping to get baking supplies and i did lots of sleep to recover from my adventure the day before.

Day 229/365 (April 4, 2009)

A day of happiness!

So i woke up wicked early because a stupid alarm went off that i had to turn off... then i got a phone call and ended up with only 5 hours of sleep for the day ahead which did not please me, but there was nothing i could do. after i got ready i packed my bag since i was wearing "driving pants" and then i went to meet megan at 125th st. after a little stop in dunkin donuts and getting 6 donuts for $3 i met megan and we hoped the M60 towards laguardia to get to enterprise for our rental car. The people that helped us were the same ones that did last year when we went with kitten... glad they didnt remember us!

we had reserved a teeny tiny car but they gave us a bigger one and i really loved it and i was the first renter of it because they said they just put the plates on it today! Megan and i then went and picked emily up then circled around to get laura.... and the fun began!

there is nothing i enjoy better than a roadtrip with some of my most favorite people and it was funny because we all brought music playing options (yay for me having the double ended cable so we could use the aux jack i was hoping the car would and did have) then we were like directions... good thing laura printed them off since my phone was misbehaving!

i got a little road rage being stuck at a toll and found a creepy drunk guy that followed us in westport but we eventually found the place, got some food and went back. the other bands were very good and it was just happiness times alot seeing the spring standards play and whatnot. since it was heather's birthday we brought a card and megan made some yummy goodness... surprisingly i gave up baking responsibilities which shocked me greatly! after we got "puff paint" t-shirts that heather decorated and thankfully mine made it back unharmed! though the shirt started with some minor stain on it.

we dropped laura and megan off at the subway and emily and i begun our interesting journey returning the car... ps i cant lie and am not good at coming up with quick answers to cover stories.... yes please remember this for the future people!

eventually i got him and sleep was nice... oh earlier i had put away my laundry and made my bed so i was able to sleep in my bed since the night before i had to sleep on the couch because i never put laundry away or made my bed from my trip to new rochelle.

ps by the end of the trip i had consumed 4.5 of the donuts... i didnt feel so good in the end!

Day 228/365 (April 3, 2009)

i woke up wicked early because i was in new rochelle and well they wake up early so that means i do too... it was nice being able to say bye to them before they went to school, and they were happy i finally spent more than a few hours with them and stayed the night. It was raining so very badly that day! but i made my way home and dropped off my laundry, did some quic roadtrip planning with megan for saturday, showered and headed out to meet zina. We went comic book shopping for her and it just made me happy to spend time with her, but we did lots of walking and i was wearing my uncomfortable rain boots and my feet were starting to hurt lots! i ended up at Sasha's with matthew and pip, and eventually Marty (and a little time with Nick) for a while before getting some food and heading off to the theatre where Nick's show was at.

The theatre was in a part of a church and we were really upset because we were one of the first people there and were waiting so we could get the front row, but they opened up the back door and we ended up being in the second to last row, but there were a ton of us!

The show was made awkward because when the subject matter and language of the show was taken into account and you looked up and saw the ginormous murals of jesus and god watching you it was a little creepy! but i was so proud of him and he did such a great job! The majority of the audience was comprised of people there for him (and the other guy) and even Luther came to see him which i thought was really sweet. then all of us and his parents went for a walk finding them a place to celebrate, and we sent them on their way then sasha, marty, and myself did a little errand before going to sasha's for a tiny bit where we put the at this performance sign i stole on nick's door, ad some popsicles, then went to mostly sondheim.

Mostly sondheim was so much fun and i had missed not being there for a whole month! kate was doing something else so it was just brian and todd and todd had people try out to be his co-host and i got to at one point which was super fun and even marty and sasha sang much to my delight! and when i was recounting the awkwardness of god looking down during the show brian started to play god is watching us (from a distance) which sasha and i were like thats what we were singing the whole time! then finally i needed to go home and get some sleep since i was doing some driving for a roadtrip!

when i got home i had an incredibly hard time getting my rain boots off... i mean we are talking my feet ended up swelling so they didnt want to come out and my poor heels were so tender from the boots.... so much pain... but by morning the feet werent swllen anymore which was nice, but they still hurt a bit.

at one point during the day i made heather's birthday card

Day 227/365 (April 2, 2009)

i woke up and got ready and headed out to new rochelle again (with laundry in tow). i went out because paula asked if i could babysit for her that night, so i went. i did some laundry and had lots of fun with my cousins. We met their next door neighbor and played on their swingset for a bit with her cute little girl.

Winnie tried to teach me how to play basketball, i gave dennis a bath, helped clare with a homework project and put them to bed. i also played tickle torture with them which is fun but wicked tiring!

i spent the night there which was a nice change!

Day 226/365 (April 1, 2009)

oh this was a weird and rough day! i woke up on the earlier side and was totally fine... life was good... then it all went downhill!

sometime around 2 i started to feel a little dizzy and was like WTF! then i had a conversation with mary on the phone and i told her that i was feeling dizzy and she was like try taking a nap maybe it will make you feel better and i figured she was right... so i hung up and let myself fall asleep.

well when i woke up a little while later i quickly discovered that i felt a thousand times worse! anytime i tried lifting my head up off the couch the room would spin around so violently that i felt sick and i could barely see straight.... i only felt ok when lying completely flat. i had no idea what was wrong with me or what medicine would ever help since i dont know what to take for spinning rooms. going to the bathroom was interesting at one point as the room was so spinny that i was richocheting (whatever) off of the tables and walls trying to get there then because i wasnt laying down i felt like i was going to faint and had just barely made it back to the couch to lay down.

my mom had called at one point and i made the mistake of telling her how dizzy i was and completely afraid because i had no idea what was happening and NOTHING like that had ever happened before... so then she called my aunt maureen since she lives on the UWS and is clearEly the closet relative to me and i ended up arguing and spending lots of time on the phone with her because she meant well but the last thing i wanted to do was be on the phone with anybody when i was feeling that way, and i had eaten the chocolates at one point hoping that maybe it was my blood sugar was low.. yea that didn't help. eventually krysta came home and i took two of her ibuprofen even though i dint think it would help, but thankfully it did and after a long night sleep i woke up with a little headache but felt fine.

Day 225/365 (March 31, 2009)

i cant remember what i did the first part of the day but after getting this "i can has neighborhood watch" picture i eventually headed to midtown for something... and then went to hang with Sasha and Pip for a bit before heading over to Sardi's for The Battery's DOwn "party." I had no one to go with me so i wasnt going to go, but i wanted to and i am glad i did even though it wa sawkward being there all by my lonesome... but its fun to watch the episode with a bunch of other people that really like it as opposed to at home by yourself so it was all good in the end and i did get gutsy at one point and invited myself over into a table of people.
